it's the united states in general. in the past decade -- in the decade since 9/11, and the sense we've engaged in two military interventions. there's a deep fear about a third war when it deals with iran's nuclear program. there's a sense that the united states' intentions, whether because of oil or territorial ambitions or because of our relationship with israel, that our intentions may not always be positive. that's the suspicion that colors attitudes towards the united states. >> robin, you're talking about sort of post-9/11 there. the promise or pro terrible that obama or his supporters put out there this is a turning point in the post-9/11 relationship of the united states to the muslim and arab world. since 2009 how do you think things have gone? >> well, he initially got a bump after his election and after the first of three speeches in turkey and indonesia as well. there's been a sense -- a decline in key muslim countries, particularly in the middle east. you know, the suspicions are not going away, and there's

we cannot allow this to stand for the united states. egypt -- and i caution some in egypt, even the ambassador talked about this film being the impetus for this. i'm not convinced yet. we saw with the cartoons in the past that months went by and then there were information operations put together around those cartoons to incite violence. we have a lot more questions about what exactly happened in egypt if, in fact, that there wasn't some information operation to incite violence against the united states embassy. and i think we -- before we draw any conclusions about what the spark or the trigger of that event, i think we need to know those answers so we can appropriately ask the egyptians what happened and why they didn't secure the perimeter of our embassy in egypt and we're going to have some repairing to do in this relationship as we move forward. the egyptians need to take a very strong stance on this. i hope that they will. i know that we're working with them to that end. this all has to happen fairly quickly to regain americans' c

the state objections board is discussing removing the president of the united states from the november ballot, following complaint from a can san claiming he is is not a u.s. citizen. whose on there? three republicans. they told them i don't think it is a frivolous objection. i do think the factual record could be supplemented. the president's mother was from kansas, cynthia. there they go again. mitt romney bragged he hadn't been asked about his birth certificate. let's catch this slur in action one more time. >> i love being home in this place where ann and i were raised, where both of us were born. ann was born at henry ford hospital, i was born at harper hospital. no one asked to see my birth certificate. they know this is the place we were born and raised. >> that's described after the fact as a joke, a slur at least. we see the joke of birtherism continues in kansas, birthplace of his mother, the president's mother. they're just pushing this thing. cynthia? >> this, chris, is another opportunity for romney to show that he is a leader and he's failed. he could stand up and say thi

the polls are a reflection of what's going on in the united states. the al problem that the republicans have in this campaign is, they have a terrible candidate. mitt romney is n a gd caat t ntiay br problem is that the electorate does not seem to be buying what the republicans are offering. when romney picked ryan as vice president, i said to my wife, i think romney may have lost the election here. the reason i said that because byicki p, i opened up that argument of the republican party as extreme and the democrats just pounced on that as you would expect them to do. and the country does not want those extreme aspects of the republican party, thosext rit wi policies. they do realize that's what got us into this trouble both overseas with the war in iraq and also with the economy. and they are not going for it anymore. the republic nlonger believes that the way to help middle class and low-incoilis give more money to the rich. so i thought that mitt romney would pivot to the middle. he decided not to do that. >> i feel like the country puicans people
